Default H F Antenna - BWD-90 VS G5RV

Can the Barker & Williamson's BWD-90 really be used without an antenna
tuner?


Any antenna can be equipped with a resistor that will
dissipate so much RF energy that a tuner is not required.
A dummy load will do the same thing. One review of the
BWD-90 says it is the biggest air-cooled dummy load in
the world.

Does the G5RV really need an antenna tuner?


Yes, unless you install a resistor at the coax/twinlead
junction.
